Career

Manchester City

[edit]

A defender, Oliver joined the Manchester City Academy at the age of 8.[3] He progressed to sign a professional contract at the age of 18 and broke into the EDS.[4][5] He made three appearances during the EDS' 2017–18 EFL Trophy campaign and on 31 January 2018, joined League One club Fleetwood Town on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.[5] He made the first professional appearance of his career three days later, as a substitute for Conor McAleny after 44 minutes of a 3–2 defeat to Scunthorpe United.[6] It proved to be the only appearance of Oliver's spell, as he dropped out of the first team squad after the appointment of new head coach John Sheridan on 22 February 2018.[2][7] Oliver played for the Development Squad in its run to the 2018 Lancashire Senior Cup Final and departed Highbury when his loan expired.[8][9]

On 31 August 2018, Oliver joined the B team at Championship club Brentford on loan until 1 January 2019.[4] He made 15 appearances for the B team before the expiration of his loan.[10] He departed Manchester City at the end of 2018–19 season, when his contract expired.[11]

Southport

On 15 November 2019, Oliver joined National League North club Southport on a free transfer.[12] He remained at Haig Avenue until his release at the end of the 2022–23 season,[13][14][15][16] by which time he had made 120 appearances and scored four goals.[17] Oliver was a part of the club's 2021–22 and 2022–23 Lancashire FA Challenge Trophy-winning squads.[18][19]

F.C. United of Manchester

[edit]

On 6 July 2023, Oliver transferred to Northern Premier League Premier Division club F.C. United of Manchester.[20] He made 47 appearances and scored two goals during a mid-table 2023–24 season and was a part of the Fenix Trophy-winning squad.[21][22][23][24] Oliver was retained for the 2024–25 season.[25]
